Aren't you supposed to be a fiscal conservative? The best way to reduce abortions is to quit subsidizing and coddling people who engage in risky behavior.

You can't be serious with this example. The woman can get pregnant either place. Putting people to work is not going to make them stop having sex. Only contraception is going to prevent pregnancy.

Originally posted by Say_hello_for_me I think your characterization of "social conservatives" is off too, but I also think it depend how you define "social conservatives". My guess is that a majority of the people who define themselves as solidly "pro-Life" would not also characterize themselves as solidly "anti-condom".

It has been my experience, as someone who is actively involved in the Republican party, that the most zealous pro-life advocates are also the most zealous anti- condom advocates. There is also a strong correlation between pro-life politicians and anti-sex education and anti-condom distribution politicians. The Pro-Life pro-condom and pro-sex education politician is a rare thing in the Republican party.
